The original of this sampler is held in the Museum of the George Müller Charitable Trust, Bristol England. The reproduction has been worked on 36 count sand linen using DMC thread..............Pearsall's Filoselle silk No. 85 is ideal for this sampler and may be purchased from sales@pearsallsembroidery.com. The reproduction was worked by Janet Edwards, my thanks to Janet. It is a faithful copy and includes Daisy's mistakes.
The name at the top of the motif sevtion is Mrs Muller the wife of George Muller founder of the orphanage........apparently all the children loved Mrs Muller.
The kit includes information and illustrations of Orphanage life including the Needlework Syllabus at the time.
